“Forgotten” elderly in England use media to get the word out about an art show, and many people show up, because people learned about it and, the forgotten were unforgotten. Media has a big effect on today; it is making everything else obsolete like, newspapers, magazines, and radios!

Elderly use media to help their business as “elderly pimps.” To show that people, no matter what their age, they can do anything they want! This in my opinion is great thing, even though the profession its self isn’t that mainstream, but it also shines in its differentness!

This site can help anybody teach the elderly to use technology! This is very important because everyone needs to keep contact, and this is such a technological age now that everyone keeps touch either on the internet or by texting! I know it’s rather sad that so many people rely on this way of life, but go with the flow and get with it.

This is another one used to help technology, because not all ways are always good ways for everyone. People learn differently. That’s why I have two news sites about this very topic. I especially did this, because even though I am a high school student, I do know what it is like, I learn differently than other high school juniors.

This site shows how technology can change medical practices for the elderly. Because nowadays technology is used for everything, from banking, to keeping up with your family and other loved ones on Skype or Facebook. And technology makes it easier for doctors to send medical information, and there are websites for patients to look up their individual symptoms.

This website shows how media and technology can be helpful in hazardous and dangerous in situations. Not all technology is perfect, the problem people are having with internet is everyone can see, so don’t put your location, where you’re going, or other information like that. There’s even a website called pleaserobme.com, made to show people a lesson, but a big problem with that site is people may take that name too seriously. So you really want to watch out.
